OF accomplishments in perfect manner.
Mrs. Palmer sang in her usual effective

the number allotted her in her usual
charming way. and of course, she was COM
PEELED to respond, singing kitty OF Col

ment. Prof Joseph Keller naturally won
the audience with his playing and they
were all sorry when his solos were at an
end. lie was compelled to respond to the
Dance of the Gnomes," and also played
several of the accomplishments.

offerings, amounting to Sal, which will be
devoted to keeping the vestments OF st.
